to avoid plastic and to know what is in the products we use on a daily basis I tried to make some cosmetic products myself. The probably easiest first product to make is toothpaste. You can find the video with the recepy by Lauren Singer and her YouTube channel “Trash for tossers” down below.

All you need for your diy toothpaste is:

coconut oil

baking soda

peppermint oil

and a container to store your toothpaste

It is a really easy way to make toothpaste yourself and get rid of some plastic and questionable ingredients of your products. Try it for yourself and please make sure to buy the ingredients you need in bulk, packaged in paper or in reusable containers to really reduce the amount of waste you produce 🙂
